About the game
Who in your group would get lost in their own neighbourhood? Most Likely To puts a prompt on the screen and everyone secretly picks the person it fits best, themselves included. There are 84 original prompts and 10 rounds by default, so a game takes about 10 minutes.
It needs 3 to 16 players and gets funnier the better people know each other; 6 or more makes the votes interesting. A TV shows the prompt and the tally to the room. On a video call, everyone opens the room and picks “Just this screen”, and the reveal plays on each person’s own device.
How to play
- Read the prompt, then choose the player you think it describes. Votes stay hidden until the reveal.
- The player with the most votes earns one point per vote; tied leaders each score. If you picked one of those leaders, you also earn one point.
- Move through all the prompts. Highest total wins.
Open a room for Most Likely To. No app, no accounts, free to host.
Tips to play well
- There are two ways to score. Pick whoever ends up with the most votes and you get a point; be that person and you get a point for every vote. Voting for yourself is allowed, and pays when you know the room thinks it is you.
- Vote with the crowd, not your private joke. The point for reading the room only comes if enough others agree with you.
- A tie at the top pays everyone in it. Each tied leader scores their votes, and anyone who picked one of them gets a point.
- Vote before the clock runs out (25 seconds by default). No vote means no point for reading the room that round.
Host settings
- Rounds: 5 to 20, default 10. One prompt per round, and no prompt repeats within a game.
- Seconds to vote: 15 to 45 seconds in steps of 5, default 25. The reveal comes early once everyone has voted.
Questions people ask
Can it get mean?
The prompts are silly rather than cruel: naming your houseplants, apologising to a chair. There is nothing about bodies, money, romance or drinking, so it is fine for families.
Can anyone see who I voted for?
No. Votes stay private. The reveal shows how many votes each player got, never who cast them.
What do you get at the end?
Besides the scores, each player gets a title: the prompt they were most voted for during the game.
Can we add computer players?
Yes, the host can add bots. They point at a random player, so they make up numbers rather than read the room.
Can we write our own prompts?
No. The game uses its own set of 84 prompts, picked at random each game.
